Wanapum

Post by Scott Ray »

I did some herping for several hours near Wanapum Dam in Grant County, WA on Saturday. Nothing too cool to report. But the Mariposa Lillies were in full bloom in many places.

Paruroctonus boreus - 3
Sagebrush Lizard - TMTC
Side-blotched Lizard - TMTC
Nightsnake - 1


Northern Scorpion - Paruroctonus boreus

The lillies did not seem to match any of the species in my field guide.

I think this scorpion species makes it into southern Canada.

I believe I have flipped that same piece of plywood a few times.

Nice shots Scott.

Nice flip on the nightsnake. I think I have flipped that piece before too.

Yep, that scorpion ranges up into Canada land. Washington has two species of scropion.

Weaver had been missing in action from Fieldherpforum for quite awhile.

Maybe he is just in the bathroom blowing it up.
